BIG GOVERNMENT CANNOT SUCCEED...
Thomas Paine said...
“Absolute governments, (tho’ the disgrace of human nature) have this advantage with them, they are simple; if the people suffer, they know the head from which their suffering springs; know likewise the remedy; and are not bewildered by a variety of causes and cures. But the constitution of England is so exceedingly complex, that the nation may suffer for years together without being able to discover in which part the fault lies; some will say in one and some in another, and every political physician will advise a different medicine.”
The USA government is a behemoth next to England’s constitution.
But the more "Free" the Countries name, often the less liberty it has.

Uniparty Ping!
Note the Founders despised democracy, which was viewed as mobocracy. That’s why voting was limited to men who owned land. Julius Evola correctly criticized modern democracy as a mere vehicle for bonapartism by which tyrants accrued power through the dumbing down of the masses. See Barack Soebarkah. Once community organizer, now king.
You sure ask a lot of questions for someone from New Jersey.
The United States was not created as a democracy. The United States was created as a Representative Republic.
“What if you were allowed to vote only because it didn’t make a difference? What if no matter how you voted the elites always got their way?”
Nothing new in California.
We passed Prop 187, the illegal alien law, only to have it killed through the subversive collusion of Judge Marianne Pfaelzer and Governor Gray Davis.
What most do not know is that this collusion permitted Pfaelzer’s decision to stand without it being reviewed by a higher court. So one activist judge overruled the votes of the people of California.
And Prop 187 could gave been appealed to a higher court if Schwarzenegger had moved to do so- but good GOPe hack that he was he didn’t do it.
Next there was Prop 8, the marriage prop, overturned by homosexual Judge Vaughn Walker. Another victory for elites over the majority.
With federal judges voiding the will of California voters, a la raza Democratic Party with a supermajority, a Republican party controlled by the GOPe, and Presidents Bush and Obama refusing to deport illegals, voting in this state is pretty much meaningless.
It has occurred to me that this is how a republic falls apart. Not with a quick collapse but slowly so that people get used to political elites rendering their votes worthless.
When the government has the power to create money out of thin air and to create inflation,and deficits can be financed by the use of that power, the effect is to make government spending free of the will of the citizens and their representatives. For the government is now in a position to finance its expenditures with funds it does not obtain from the people. Even to the extent the government's expenditures have the approval of the citizens and their representatives, the approval is gained fraudulently-it is gained under the delusion that because the expenditures can be financed by inflation they are not at the expense of the citizens.
Just today, the Mississippi Supreme Court just denied again Chris McDaniel's request to inspect the poll books of Cochran-friendly counties, despite the fact that a majority of counties already made those books available.

I would like to vote for this man in some capacity.
